Detailed explanation-1: -The advantages of sexual reproduction: produces genetic variation in the offspring. the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sexual reproduction is a better mode of reproduction. It allows the formation of new variants by the combination of the DNA from two different individuals, typically one of each sex. It involves the fusion of the male and the female gamete to produce variants, which are not identical to their parents and to themselves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Due to the presence of a single parent in asexual reproduction, the progeny is a copy of their parent, which means no variation is observed in the genetic material. This type of reproduction is hence favorable in a stable environment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists believe that sexual reproduction offers two big advantages: It can sweep bad mutations out of the gene pool more quickly. Also, by shuffling parents’ genetic material each generation, it increases the likelihood that new genetic combinations will arise that help organisms adapt to their environment.
